About James

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Gritty, fast, workhorse capable of 20plus rushes a game

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Motivated team player and leader who works tirelessly both in season and off season to achieve team and individual goals

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I also run track in the OAA Red (Varisty letter as a Freshman) and am a member of our schools powerlifting team

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have been elected team captain several times throughout my career. Earning the helmet sticker for not missing a single summer workout or camp was a goal oh mine that I achieved this year. This also along with my abilities allowed me to be a 5 quarter player dressing for all Varsity games

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Currently in the biggest challenge of my life. I broke my collarbone on the first drive of the second game of my Junior year. My surgery was extremely successful and I am immediately beginning my rehab. I am committed to getting back and exceeding my current levels! I will be back!!!!

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that will help me grow and expand my football skills while preparing my future. I am interested in the engineering field. I have taken some CAD and drafting classes and those have really been interesting to me.

Coming off of an injury, James moved incredibly well all day long. He was one of only 2 athletes to be top 10 in every category. He had the 2nd best shuttle with a 4.40, as well as the 3rd best L-Drill, 6th best broad jump and a 4.72 40 time, good for 9th. A well rounded performance that jumped off the page to me.
